Drought in Somalia

A young Somali boy sits outside his makeshift hut at a camp for people displaced from their homes elsewhere in the country by the drought, shortly after dawn in Qardho, Somalia March 9, 2017. Somalia’s government has declared the drought a national disaster, and the United Nations estimates that 5 million people in this Horn of Africa nation need aid, amid warnings of a full-blown famine.
